Went to this carnival bout three years ago
No big deal, ferris wheel, the same ole' stuff you know
There was a man out there with a speech outside a tent
And he said it to me, and this is how it went

Folks, you know she walks, she talks
She crawls on her belly like a reptile
Same ole' line except one part
You don't need no money, boy, you pay with your heart

CHORUS:
   A                               E
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
             B7
You know the same rowdy crowd that was
A7                      E
Here last night is back again

Well. I went inside and looked around for a seat
The light went low, and the band played a beat
Out came this girl, wearing a scarf and sleeves
Did a little dance that made me weak in the knees
That girl, she danced like her back had no bone
While the band played a tune called the Main Street Moan

She smiled a smile the whole world could see
She turned around, and she looked right at me
I must have jumped six feet in the air
And when I came down, that girl wasn't there

REPEAT CHORUS

Out came this guy with a big ole' red beard
And furry arms, man he looked like a bear
He said that all there is, there's no more to the show
If yall wanna breathe right, I think you better go
I didn't think twice, headed straight for the door
And when I left, I heard that big bear roar

REPEAT CHORUS

Every time that carnival came, I was right there
Lord, I learned to stay away from that mean ole' bear
Just like the man said from his speech at the start
When that carnival left town it took a piece of my heart
I still get this funny feeling way down in my bones
Whenever a band plays that Main Street Moan 

REPEAT CHORUS
